Helmets

I’m so glad the populists and politicians try to protect me

Before they continue there are some facts they need to see

Up to thirty miles an hour a helmet might protect your brain

Great, if your bike is powered by peddles, sprocket, and chain

Compared to bikers, it is more dangerous to take a quiet stroll

More pedestrians killed in vehicle crashes, said a recent poll

Mr. Politician, Why are you so concerned about me, a biker?

Would you lose too many votes forcing helmets on a hiker?

The same percentage of bikers killed with a helmet or without

Aren’t we FREE to decide? That’s what we are all upset about

You say motorcycle accidents are a burden on our economy

The cost is covered by insurance paid for by my Bros and me

If helmets save so many, let’s make it the new American rage

Yes, helmets for all, whether walking or driving in your cage

Mr. Politician, don’t you have any other issues to look into?

Illegal’s crossing our borders, a much greater cost to me and you
